Where it is
Denmark is grouped in Northern Europe, within Roam’s Europe region. Its land-border list includes 1 country in this atlas: Germany. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Denmark has a recorded area of 43,094 square kilometres. Among the 10 countries assigned to Northern Europe in this dataset, it ranks 10 by area, from largest to smallest. Estonia is immediately above it in that ordering, at 45,227 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 6,009,169 people for Denmark in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 139 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Danish. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Danish Krone (DKK). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
